informal skills, and/or moving from informal to formal sector jobs or pursue higher

education/training and shall fall in the categories as per below:

(i) For fresh entrants to the job market, the training duration to be minimum 200 hours(including practical and/or on thejob training) except where prescribed by any Statute

training programmes having a minimum duration of 80 hours of trainings includingpractical and/or onthe-job training.
